Since graduating from the College Experience Program in 2019, Zahin’s goal has been to work in an office. In 2022, he was hired at Living Resources to assist with office tasks, including filing, scanning, and keeping the office tidy and well-stocked.
He excelled in his new role, with his supervisor commenting, “Zahin is an outstanding employee of our Admin Department mainly because of his eagerness to learn new tasks and his willingness to explore ways to improve productiveness. He is truly a pleasure to have on the team and gets along very well with his coworkers.”
While he was thrilled to be working in an office, he was still working a second job in foodservice. He was not as thrilled to be
working in that industry still, as he was striving to expand on his skillset in an office setting. That’s when he set the goal of leaving foodservice behind and working solely in an office.
When Image Care contacted Living Resources in search of some assistance in Medical Records, Zahin was excited about the position. He dressed the part and spoke well about the clerical tasks he assists with at Living Resources during his interview. They were impressed and offered him the job! He graciously accepted and handed in his resignation from his foodservice job.
Zahin is now living his dream of working solely in an office! Keep up the great work, Zahin!
